ANIMAL PUPPETS

DON'T PUT OUT THE FIRE INSIDE OF ME
I'M CRAVING TO BURN
FORGOING JUST TO FEEL
UNABLE TO TURN
A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM
A FUSING DISEASE
PUT OUT THE FIRE INSIDE OF ME
CAUSE YOU ARE THE ONLY…ONE WHO CAN DO IT

THE ONE WHO HOLDS THE STRINGS
OF A USED UP LITTLE PUPPET
THE OTHER CALLS IT LOVE
AND THE OTHER WON'T BOTHER TO SPEAK
LOST THE VOICE
LOST THE CAUSE
FOUND THE DOG WITHIN
FAITHFULLY LIVING BY THE LAWS
OF EAT, SLEEP AND DROOL

YOU DECIDE
WHETHER TO BORROW HIM SCISSORS OR BUY HIM A COLLAR
SOMEWHERE INSIDE
A SILENT LITTLE SCREAM OF A LION REFUSING TO BE TAMED

DON'T PUT OUT THE FIRE INSIDE OF ME
CRAVING TO BURN
FORGOING JUST TO FEEL
UNABLE TO TURN
A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM
MY FUSING DISEASE
PUT OUT THE FIRE INSIDE OF ME
CAUSE YOU ARE THE ONLY…ONE WHO CAN DO IT

THE ONE WHO HOLDS THE SCISSORS
IS THE ONE WHO'S PLAYING GOD
THE OTHER PLAYS IT SAFE
INSIDE A FEAR OF BEING LOST WITHOUT THE STRINGS
CUT THEM OFF
SET HIM FREE
THERE'S A PLACE TO BE
STILL PLENTY OF ROOM IN THE FENCING
FOR ONE MORE FRIGHTENED SHEEP

YOU DECIDE
WHETHER TO SHEAR THEM ALL OR LEAVE A DINNER FOR THE WOLF
NOWHERE TO HIDE
THE SHOW IS OVER EITHER WAY, JUST FEED THE FLAMES…

DON'T PUT OUT THE FIRE INSIDE OF ME
FORGOING JUST TO FEEL
A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM
DON'T PUT OUT THE FIRE INSIDE OF ME
YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DO IT

ALL THE ANIMALS FORM A CIRCLE 2X
SPIN AROUND YOU 4X
TASTE THE FIRE
BURN THE LIAR  2X
IN DENIAL 2X
THE FINAL TRIAL 2X

DID THEY GIVE US A MIND AND A SOUL?
THERE ARE SO MANY OF US AND EACH ONE IS ALONE
A LIFE IS NOT JUST A NUMBER
TO LIVE IS NOT TO FALL IN SLUMBER

CHOICES

THESE CHOICES I'M READY TO MAKE
ARE YOU?

THESE CHOICES I'M READY TO MAKE
ARE YOU?

I CAN'T FEEL MY BONES
I'M A RUG UNDER YOUR THRONE
EMOTIONAL OVERFLOW
THORNS OVER THE GOLD

GODDAMN ARE WE STILL BREATHING NAPALM
UNDER THE GREY VEIL YOU CALL SKY
YOU MADE YOUR CHOICES AND I MADE MINE
GODDAMN ARE WE STILL BREATHING NAPALM
WHILE THOSE VULTURES DRINK OUR WINE
YOU MADE YOUR CHOICES AND I MADE MINE

I CAN'T FIND MY PLACE
I'VE LOST ALL TRACE OF FATE
I CHOOSE TO WELCOME PAIN
I CHOOSE TO FALL FROM GRACE

GODDAMN ARE WE STILL BREATHING NAPALM
UNDER THE GREY VEIL YOU CALL SKY
YOU MADE YOUR CHOICES AND I MADE MINE
GODDAMN ARE WE STILL BREATHING NAPALM
WHILE THOSE VULTURES DRINK OUR WINE
YOU MADE YOUR CHOICES AND I MADE MINE

GODDAMN!

2013

OH, HOW WE CHEERED
WHEN THE WORLD WAS ENDING
HOLDING HANDS LIKE YOU HAD THE ABILITY TO LOVE

WHEN THERE'S NO FIREWORKS
IT'S A BETTER PARTY
WHEN THERE'S NO WORLD
IT'S A NEW BEGINNING

BUT FOR WHAT?
WHY ARE YOU CELEBRATING DEATH?
WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PROVE
WHEN THERE ARE A MILLION WAYS TO KILL YOURSELF?

NOW
YOU CAN SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND STAND UP STRAIGHT
CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT WE'VE BECOME
LOST ALL TARGETS, LOST THE AIM OF HATE
WE ARE FAST FOOD FOR THEIR BOMBS

USELESS ENEMIES
LIKE YOUR GODS AND DEMONS
AND WHOEVER MIGHT PISS YOU OFF IN THE MORNING
BUT I'M TOO BORED TO PREACH
YOUR CONSPIRACY THEORIES MAKE ME SLEEP
BUT I'M ON YOUR SIDE
I JUST DON'T LIKE YOU
I HAVE A PROBLEM

I'M A JUDAS
I'M A JESUS
I'M WHATEVER I WANT
A PROPHET WITH A GUN
TODAY IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SIDE YOU ARE ON
AN ETERNAL MARCH OF THE HUMAN BOMBS
2013

NOW
YOU CAN SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND STAND UP STRAIGHT
CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT WE'VE BECOME
LOST ALL TARGETS, LOST THE AIM OF HATE
WE ARE FAST FOOD FOR THEIR BOMBS

2013
END OF A DREAM


2013

TINY PIECES  
I WON'T DENY IT 
I WON'T CLAIM THAT I'M WHOLE 
TINY PIECES 
I WAS CUT DAYS BEFORE  

YOU CAME 
A FLOOD ON THE FLOOR 
YOU STAY 
THE DRAIN WILL SWALLOW SOME MORE 

SO YOU FOUND A PARADISE 
THIS PLACE IS FORGOTTEN 
AND FAR BEYOND A DREAM 
THE MORE YOU TAKE THE MORE YOU GET 
AND SOON YOU WILL BE FOUND 
THIS SHOULD BE FORBIDDEN  

YOU SLAY 
EYES REFLECT THE SOUL UNBORN 
YOU LEAVE 
ILLUSION IS AN OPEN DOOR  

SO YOU FOUND A PARADISE 
THIS PLACE IS FORGOTTEN 
AND FAR BEYOND A DREAM 
THE MORE YOU TAKE THE MORE YOU GET 
AND SOON YOU WILL BE FOUND 
THIS SHOULD BE FORBIDDEN 
AND FAR BEYOND YOUR REACH  

LET ME UNFOLD 
LEAVE THE FLOOR 
DREAM AT NIGHT 
LOVE YOU WRONG 
BURNING CHILD 
CRYING MORE 
A GIANT LIE 
A DINOSAUR  

SO YOU FOUND A PARADISE 
THIS PLACE IS FORGOTTEN 
AND FAR BEYOND A DREAM 
THE MORE YOU TAKE THE MORE YOU GET 
AND SOON YOU WILL BE FOUND 
THIS SHOULD BE FORBIDDEN 
AND FAR BEYOND YOUR REACH  

FORGET WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN 
THE NIGHT WILL BATHE YOU CLEAN 
NOW SLEEP 
SLEEP

SOULCATCHER

BEEN HERE BEFORE
THERE'S NO TALENT IN FAKING
A NOD OF THE HEAD
A SMILE THAT WON'T LISTEN
BETRAYING WITH STYLE
THE LIPS KEEP ON KISSING
CIRCUMCISED
LEFT YOU WITH THE SKIN

CROWN THE WHORE
A ROUND OF APPLAUSE
MORE AND MORE
NO ENCORE CAUSE IT WOULD 
NEED A PAUSE
THIS WILL NOT END
IF YOU NEED A FRIEND
I SURE CAN PRETEND

DON'T FIGHT THE FEELING
IF YOU SEE THEM BLEEDING

WE SAW THE LIGHT
NOW WE CAN ALREADY HEAR IT TALK
IT'S GUIDING
FOR ALL YOU BLINDED ONES
WE HAVE NOTHING BUT LOVE TO GIVE
THROUGH PITY

BURN IN HELL
ALL LESSONS ARE USELESS
YOUR BODY'S NO TEMPLE
YOUR MIND IS A FOSSIL
PENETRATE
THROUGH THE FOG OF DECEPTION
THE RAPIST OF MIND
A CLOWN COMMANDER
WASH IT UP
YOU NEED A CLEAR WINDOW
TO SEE OUTSIDE
YOU'RE WORSHIPPING A STREET LIGHT
YOUR HYMNS ARE ELEVATOR MUSIC

SO COME AGAIN
AND BE MY FRIEND
I'M HEAVEN SENT

DON'T FIGHT THE FEELING
IF YOU SEE THEM BLEEDING
DROP DOWN
WAY DOWN
ALL YOU NEED IS DOWN BELOW

WE SAW THE LIGHT
NOW WE CAN ALREADY HEAR IT TALK
IT'S GUIDING
FOR ALL YOU BLINDED ONES
WE HAVE NOTHING BUT LOVE TO GIVE
THROUGH PITY

ALL LESSONS ARE USELESS

THE MOON AIN'T WAITING
FOR US TO COME
WE NEED TO BE THERE
THE MOON IS WRONG

SO WAVE YOUR FLAGS
SELF-SUFFICIENT
AND MAKE YOUR BEDS
RIGHT BEFORE THE STORM

WAS IT ALL JUST A WAY TO MAKE SENSE?
ONCE AND FOR ALL SHOULD WE BEG TO DIFFER?
WITH ALL THE PROBES AND SATELLITES WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO FIND?
DOES IT ALL EVEN HAVE TO MAKE SENSE?
BEFORE THE FALL

THE SUN AIN'T WAITING
FOR US TO COME
WE NEED TO BE THERE
THE SUN IS WRONG

SO PACK YOU BAGS
IT'S TIME FOR DELIVERANCE
ENJOY YOUR TAN
BEFORE YOU BURN

WAS IT ALL JUST A WAY TO MAKE SENSE?
ONCE AND FOR ALL SHOULD WE BEG TO DIFFER?
WITH ALL THE PROBES AND SATELLITES WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO FIND?
DOES IT ALL EVEN HAVE TO MAKE SENSE?
BEFORE THE FALL

DREAM THE FALL
THROUGH THE EYELID CURTAINS
BREAK THE SKIN
HEALING EXPLOSIONS

DREAM THE FALL
THE FALL OF ALL
